How do I restrict my webpages on users.aber.ac.uk, so only users on the aber network can see them?
You do this by creating an .htaccess file:
- Open a terminal session (How do I do that?) and log-on to the account you are working with
- Change directory (use the command cd directoryname substituting the name of your folder) until you are in the directory you wish to protect. This should be somewhere within the public_html folder on your public filestore.
- Open a text editor by typing pico
- Enter the following information into pico:
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from .aber.ac.uk - Save the file with the name .htaccess by pressing Ctrl+O and entering the file name .htaccess
- Set the correct permissions on this folder (How do I do that?)
